Was a bit bored today and decided to see if I could design and print some bed hole covers for the truck. ( besides its been a bit since I've had the 3d printer up and running ) Im printing the first test now and have a slightly modified one to print after. Ill see which one works out best ( if either do at all ). I can print like no tomorrow ( usually grab files off Thingiverse etc ) but am trying to learn and teach myself the design aspect. ( Using Fusion 360 )

Ill post up pics once I figure out which one works best and if there's interest I can send the .STL file to anyone who wants it so they can make their own.

Im only using black PLA as that's what I have on hand, but if they work good ill redo them in PTEG when I get some.

Heres a link to the file, if you use it give me a like

Mine are much the same as that, I actually was looking at that picture to see how they were made

Well the bed caps are a success, Im pretty pleased with how they turned out considering they are the first thing I designed and printed from a blank screen.

They pressure fit into the pocket hole and I don't believe they'll blow out ( I have a tonneau cover anyway )

Heres a couple pics of the finished product..

That's what I did until I bought bull rings. I would highly suggest ABS though. If your truck sits out in the sun like mine the top of your bed will get hot enough to melt PLA, and possibly soften PETG.
